deepLink

Open a deep link URL in the mobile app based on the url and the app's package name (Android) or bundle ID (iOS).

Usage

browser.deepLink(link, appIdentifier)

Parameters

Name	Type	Details
link	string	The deep link URL that should be opened in the mobile app. It should be a valid deep link URL (e.g. myapp://path). If it's a universal deep link, which can be used for iOS, use the browser.url("your-url")-method.
appIdentifier	string	The value of the packageName (Android) or bundleId (iOS) of the app that the deep link should open.

Example

deeplink.js

it('should open a deep link for the WDIO native demo app', async () => {
    // open the Drag tab with a deep link (this the bundleId for the iOS Demo App)
    await browser.deepLink('wdio://drag', 'org.reactjs.native.example.wdiodemoapp');

    // Or open the Drag tab with a deep link (this the packageName for the Android Demo App)
    await browser.deepLink('wdio://drag', 'com.wdiodemoapp');

    // Or if you want to have it "cross-platform" you can use it like this
    await browser.deepLink('wdio://drag', browser.isIOS ? 'org.reactjs.native.example.wdiodemoapp' : 'com.wdiodemoapp');
})
